While we prepare announcements for our 2020 Ross Farm Music Series, we can’t wait to let everyone know about our first concert of the season! Caleb Caudle is releasing a brand new album this spring and we are so proud he has chosen to celebrate the release of “Better Hurry Up” in the lovely old barn at the Ross Farm on Saturday, April 18.
We’ll have more announcements in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on the “Music” tab of our website and on our social media. Find us on Facebook at The Ross Farm – Basking Ridge and on Instagram and Twitter @RossFarmBR.
Don’t forget our Band of Friends program, where a donation of $100 gets you on the guest list for all of the concerts in our Music Series. Business owners can support the Music Series through sponsorships available at a wide range of levels. Information on both Band of Friends and Sponsorships is also available under the “Music” tab on the website.

Sponsors will be listed on a banner that will be displayed at all Friends of the Boudinot-Southard-Ross Estate activities in 2020. The banner will feature sponsor names and logos. Sponsors are also recognized on our social media and included in press releases provided to local media outlets.
Sponsorships will continue to help grow our music series in our sixth year as well as support the ongoing mission of the Friends of the Boudinot-Southard-Ross Estate. With your generous help, we can continue to bring nationally-touring and recording musicians to the Ross Farm. While each act is paid a guarantee,
admission to our concerts is by suggested donation. Sponsorships ensure that we can cover the cost of our musicians even if we don’t collect the full amount in donations. Sponsorships also help provide professional technical support for sound and lighting to enhance the experience.
In addition to our music series, our 501(c)3 non-profit organization hosts a number of historical and cultural events throughout the year. We enjoy hosting the ARTsee Happening every spring at the Farm, and Somerset County’s Weekend Journey Through the Past is our signature event every fall. Additionally, we’ll be on display at the annual Charter Day celebration. We are also very proud of Boudinot’s Giving Garden, lovingly tended by a number of volunteers who harvested over a ton of produce in 2019 that was donated to local food pantries, soup kitchens and the local VA’s Community Hope. We were honored to receive the 2019 Mayor’s Arts Award in the Organization Category as well as Somerset County Cultural and Heritage Commission Excellence in the Arts Award.
With the support of local businesses in 2019, we were able to realize one of our wishes to upgrade our sound system, and we hope to add new lighting equipment in 2020 to use for concerts and other events at the Farm. If you are interested in supporting a specific project, please ask; we’ll be glad to talk about how we can work together! At any level, your sponsorship is greatly appreciated! All sponsorships include complimentary admission to every concert, and sponsorship levels are as follows:
$1,000+: Rock Star
$500 to $999: Platinum
$251 to $499: Gold
$100 to $249: Roadie
